High Risk
Author: Simona Ahrnstedt
Released: March 27, 2018 by Kensington
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romance
Series: High Stakes #3A novel of betrayal and passion in a frozen landscape far from the city lights, by the bestselling author of All In and Falling . . .
Ambra Vinter dreams of making it to the top of her chosen field. But instead, the beautiful young journalist is sent on assignment to Kiruna, a tiny mining town far north of Stockholm, chasing after yesterday’s news. In December, this is a place on the edge of darkness—and Ambra’s memories of it are just as bleak, for it is where she once suffered at the hands of a brutal foster father. Yet it is here, in the middle of nowhere, that she meets a man who takes her breath away . . .
Tom Lexington has left Special Forces for a career in private security. But he is still haunted by a mission that almost cost him his life—and by the woman who shattered his heart. When he meets Ambra in a café, she brings a promise of light, and heat, to his life—if he dares to let go of all he’s been holding onto.
Now, as Ambra risks looking more closely at her own painful past, and stumbles into a story that’s hotter than she ever expected, she and Tom must decide whether to take a chance on each other and come in from the cold . . .
RHG says: YES I KNOW THIS WAS LAST MONTH BUT I MISSED IT. The third book in Arhnstedt’s Swedish High Stakes series. IT’S SO GOOD- she’s a journalist, he’s a private security specialist, they each have baggage and I just lost a game of Kindle Chicken reading it (my battery ran out before the book did).

The rebel. That’s how Samara has always thought of Beckett. And he’s absolutely living up to his unpredictable ways when he strides into her office and asks for help. She can’t help wondering if it’s a legit request or just a ploy to get her into bed. Not that she’d mind either one. After all, she likes to live on the edge too.
But soon the threats to the King empire are mounting, and the two find family secrets darker than they ever imagined and dangerous enough to get them both killed.

Author: Amy Spalding
Released: April 3, 2018 by Sky Pony Press
Genre: LGBTQIA, Young AdultSeventeen, fashion-obsessed, and gay, Abby Ives has always been content playing the sidekick in other people’s lives. While her friends and sister have plunged headfirst into the world of dating and romances, Abby’s been happy to focus on her plus-size style blog and her dreams of taking the fashion industry by storm. When she lands a great internship at her favorite boutique, she’s thrilled to take the first step toward her dream career. Then she falls for her fellow intern, Jordi Perez. Hard. And now she’s competing against the girl she’s kissing to win the coveted paid job at the end of the internship.
But really, nothing this summer is going as planned. She’s also unwittingly become friends with Jax, a lacrosse-playing bro-type who wants her help finding the best burger in L.A.; she’s struggling to prove to her mother—the city’s celebrity health nut—that she’s perfectly content with who she is; and she’s desperately trying to remain behind the scenes and off-camera where she feels she belongs, when she hangs out with Jordi, who documents her entire life in photographs.
Though crazy, summer’s been fun, and just as Abby starts to feel like she’s no longer the sidekick in her own life anymore, Jordi’s photography surprisingly puts her in the spotlight for the first time, and it feels more like a betrayal rather than a starring role. Can Abby find a way to reconcile her positive yet private sense of self with the image that other people have of her?
Elyse says: A YA book about a teen with a plus sized fashion blog!

Author: Vi Keeland
Released: April 9, 2018 by C. Scott Publishing Corp
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romance
Series: The Rush Series #1From New York Times Bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, comes the first book in a new, sexy duet.
How to kick off a great summer in the Hamptons:
Snag a gorgeous rental on the beach. Check.
Get a job at a trendy summer haunt. Check.
How to screw up a great summer in the Hamptons:
Fall for the one guy with a dark leather jacket, scruff on his face, and intense eyes that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the tony looking crowd. A guy you can’t have when you’ll be leaving at the end of the season.
Check. Check. Check.
I should add—especially when the guy is your sexy, tattooed God of a boss.
Especially when he not only owns your place of employment but inherited half of the town.
Especially when he’s mean to you.
Or so I thought.
Until one night when he demanded I get in his car so he could drive me home because he didn’t want me walking in the dark.
That was sort of how it all started with Rush.
And then little by little, some of the walls of this hardass man started to come down.
I never expected that the two of us, seemingly opposites from the outside, would grow so close.
I wasn’t supposed to fall for the rebel heir, especially when he made it clear he didn’t want to cross the line with me.
As the temperature turned cooler, the nights became hotter. My summer became a lot more interesting—and complicated.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Series: The Shadow Game #1Welcome to the City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets…and secrets hide in every shadow.
Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school—and her reputation—behind to follow her mother’s trail to the city where no one survives uncorrupted.
Frightened and alone, her only lead is a name: Levi Glaisyer. Unfortunately, Levi is not the gentleman she expected—he’s a street lord and con man. Levi is also only one payment away from cleaning up a rapidly unraveling investment scam, so he doesn’t have time to investigate a woman leading a dangerous double life. Enne’s offer of compensation, however, could be the solution to all his problems.
Their search for clues leads them through glamorous casinos, illicit cabarets and into the clutches of a ruthless Mafia donna. As Enne unearths an impossible secret about her past, Levi’s enemies catch up to them, ensnaring him in a vicious execution game where the players always lose. To save him, Enne will need to surrender herself to the city…
And she’ll need to play.

Author: Madeline Miller
Released: April 10, 2018 by Little, Brown and Company
Genre: Science Fiction/FantasyIn the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child–not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power–the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.
Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.
But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.
With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man’s world.
Elyse says: This book has gotten a lot of praise and I’m very interested in the setting.

Author: Catherynne Valente
Released: April 10, 2018 by Saga Press
Genre: Science Fiction/FantasyThe Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy meets Eurovision in an over-the-top science fiction spectacle from bestselling author Catherynne Valente has galaxies competing for glory in a universe-wide musical contest—where the stakes are as high as the fate of planet Earth.
A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented—something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity, and understanding.
Once every cycle, the civilizations gather for Galactivision—part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past. Instead of competing in orbital combat, the powerful species that survived face off in a competition of song, dance, or whatever can be physically performed in an intergalactic talent show. The stakes are high for this new game, and everyone is forced to compete.
This year, though, humankind has discovered the enormous universe. And while they expected to discover a grand drama of diplomacy, gunships, wormholes, and stoic councils of aliens, they have instead found glitter, lipstick, and electric guitars. Mankind will not get to fight for its destiny—they must sing.
A band of human musicians, dancers, and roadies have been chosen to represent Earth on the greatest stage in the galaxy. And the fate of their species lies in their ability to rock.
Amanda says: Valente’s writing is amazing and this is essentially Eurovision in space.

Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes. On that day, the Kaiser took Theodosia’s family, her land, and her name. Theo was crowned Ash Princess–a title of shame to bear in her new life as a prisoner.
For ten years Theo has been a captive in her own palace. She’s endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court. She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside.
Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable. With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough. But she does have a weapon: her mind is sharper than any sword. And power isn’t always won on the battlefield.
For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved. That all ends here.

Series: The ICON Trilogy #1Will she risk it all for a priceless desire?
A rising star in one of London’s top art investigation firms, Zara Leighton’s talent for seeing deep into paintings is in her blood. She’s chosen to help track down Icon, an enigmatic international art thief whose heists are methodical, daring, baffling. To Zara the case is maddening—bordering on an obsession.
She finds distraction in the chiseled form of top-shelf client Tobias Wilder, a magnetic American billionaire who demands her expertise, her discretion—and her secrecy. Wilder doesn’t ask questions. He gives orders. His gaze alone ignites her deepest fantasies. And his touch…
The sudden whirl of exclusive exhibitions and decadent parties that Wilder introduces her to is a potent aphrodisiac. But surrender soon becomes tinged with suspicion. Is Zara’s tryst with Wilder the real thing…or just a convincing forgery?
NB: This is a rerelease, I think, and if you’re interested, we ran an excerpt previously!
RHG says: She’s an art investigator, he’s a billionaire that hired her to investigate his “art” and the cover copies implies that he might actually be Thomas Crown. (Remember the days when I said I didn’t read contemporary? Good times.)

Though the young widow’s passionate fling with dashing Bow Street Runner Callum Jenks ended amicably months ago, she now needs his expertise. It seems Isabel’s late husband, a respected art dealer, was peddling forgeries. If those misdeeds are revealed, the marriage prospects of his younger cousin—now Isabel’s ward—will be ruined.
For the second time, Isabel has upended Callum’s well-ordered world. He’s resolved to help her secretly replace the forgeries with the real masterpieces, as a…friend. A proper sort of friend doesn’t burn with desire, of course, or steal kisses on twilight errands. Or draw a willing lady into one passionate encounter after another.

So she sets out to make things right, only to find gruff, grieving Aiden O’Leary doesn’t need—or want—her apology. He does, however, need something else from her.

Genre: Literary FictionSet amidst the breathtaking beauty of Oxford, this sparkling debut novel tells the unforgettable story about a determined young woman eager to make her mark in the world and the handsome man who introduces her to an incredible love that will irrevocably alter her future—perfect for fans of JoJo Moyes and Nicholas Sparks.
American Ella Durran has had the same plan for her life since she was thirteen: Study at Oxford. At 24, she’s finally made it to England on a Rhodes Scholarship when she’s offered an unbelievable position in a rising political star’s presidential campaign. With the promise that she’ll work remotely and return to DC at the end of her Oxford year, she’s free to enjoy her Once in a Lifetime Experience. That is, until a smart-mouthed local who is too quick with his tongue and his car ruins her shirt and her first day.
When Ella discovers that her English literature course will be taught by none other than that same local, Jamie Davenport, she thinks for the first time that Oxford might not be all she’s envisioned. But a late-night drink reveals a connection she wasn’t anticipating finding and what begins as a casual fling soon develops into something much more when Ella learns Jamie has a life-changing secret.
Immediately, Ella is faced with a seemingly impossible decision: turn her back on the man she’s falling in love with to follow her political dreams or be there for him during a trial neither are truly prepared for. As the end of her year in Oxford rapidly approaches, Ella must decide if the dreams she’s always wanted are the same ones she’s now yearning for.
Sarah says: The heroine earns a Rhodes Scholarship and flies to Oxford while also balancing her dream job on a campaign in DC – working remotely. Add romance with a local who is also a lit professor. It’s a whole lot of my catnip. A WHOLE LOT.

I have SKY IN THE DEEP on hold at my library!
And I have pre-ordered UNMASKED BY THE MARQUESS by Cat Sebastian – first in her Regency Imposters series and featuring a nonbinary heroine! – April 17
Aside from the Christina Lauren, the only thing on my horizon this month is Courtney Milan’s After the Wedding. Which I’ll believe actually release this month when I see it on my Kindle index. Of course, since my Kindle died last week, who knows when that will be.
Looking forward to C. S. Harris’ latest in the Sebastian St Cyr series – Why Kill The Innocent. Also Larissa Ione’s Her Guardian Angel.
Can’t wait to read Josh Lanyon’s The Magician Murders (3rd book in the Art of Murder series) which finally went live on Amazon yesterday. I bought it immediately and guess what I’ll be doing all day today? Highly recommend the series if you like m/m mysteries.
Very much looking forward to Justina Ireland’s DREAD NATION and my son and I are big fans of Kevin Hearne, so will get a copy of the final Iron Druid books. CIRCE looks fascinating and Madeline Miller wrote THE SONG OF ACHILLES and it was brilliant, so expecting good things there. Last, I would read Cat Valente’s grocery list, that’s how good she is, so will be waiting with bated breath for SPACE OPERA.
Clicked submit before I mentioned that I already have Cheris Hodges and Laura Sebastian books pre-ordered 🙂
Please cover designers, stop with the cigarette (or cigar) smoking cover models! Smoking hot=good; smoking cigarettes=not good.
Lots of enticing choices!
High Risk sounds SO GOOD! Also v. v. excited for the Kate Claybourne. Beginner’s Luck was excellent!
My brain saw REBEL HAIR instead of REBEL HEIR. Lots of potential, I think, for that story line.
Oooh Darlene, me too! Glad I’m not the only one…
I’ve got two preorders coming out on Tuesday on Defy the Worlds by Claudia Gray and Dread Nation by Justina Ireland. My poor husband is just sighing in resignation at me this week when it comes to books. Eh. He knew who he married.
Both The Chase and Lady Rogue are making me think about my love of dashing thieves and well planned “gentlemanly” heist stories. I couldn’t find much in a quick search- Any chance for a rec league?
@Emily C: What a strange coincidence! We have a heist Rec League scheduled for this week!
@Cristie omg!! I had no idea it was out! I can’t wait to read it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! 😀
Can “High Stakes” be read out of order (as it’s book 3 in a series)?? On first glance, it looks like it.
Also I’m so with Sarah on the Oxford book…oh, so much catnip awaiteth…
[…] The third book in Arhnstedt’s Swedish High Stakes series. IT’S SO GOOD- she’s a journalist, he’s a private security specialist, they each have baggage and I just lost a game of Kindle Chicken reading it (my battery ran out before the book did). Read the whole review here […]
Pippa Grant’s Royally Pucked is out on Friday 4/6. Some of her prose is a bit clunky but damn… her love scenes are fire. I’ve read 3 of her previous releases and loved them all.
Demi – High Stakes looks like a completely new series. That being said, I loved the first book she released in the states and didn’t finish the second at around 20%. High hopes for this one and I highly recommend her!
